UK National Lotto #1819 (Single Rollover Draw)

The table below is courtesy of Camelot's phone line (0845 9100 000 *10).
The jackpot prize pool for this, the 315th single rollover draw and the 378th rollover in total, included £3,801,731 (62.1%) rolled over from the previous lottery,
in addition to the original jackpot prize pool of £2,321,644 (37.9%).

The draw used ball set 7 in the Merlin machine and the average main Lotto prize was £38.37.
One in every 55.8 main Lotto tickets won a prize (=1.79% of players).

If all 13,983,816 ticket combinations were additionally purchased for the main Lotto game, they would have made a loss of £8,653,326.

The prior history of the main Lotto jackpot ticket included 37 wins totalling £459.

From Saturday 12th July 2003 onwards, Camelot has completely refused to issue per-draw sales figures for any of their individual games,
despite continuously doing so for more than 8 years prior to that date. They blamed the media for only
concentrating on the main Lotto game sales (which have been falling steadily for years), which seems to be a poor excuse to me.
However, games with variable prize tiers such as the main Lotto can have their sales figures reverse-calculated to within a few pounds, which is what I have done.
